Abstract
A system for connecting two ferrules in an axial compressor case is disclosed. Each of the ferrules includes a substantially annular flange with a proximal face adapted to be integral with the ferrule, and a distal face. The system further includes securing members for clamping distal faces of both flanges one against the other. The securing members include at least one pair of jaws provided for being connected by a set of tensile members, each of the jaws of the pair being provided for abutting against the proximal face of one of the flanges. At least one jaw of the pair further includes a portion, such as substantially radial shoulders, provided for forming a positive connection with complementary portions in both flanges for a transmission of circumferential stresses between both flanges.
